This week, I attempt to educate listeners on several non-obvious considerations - highly specific to the enterprise software business model - that must form a core part of any diligence and deal structuring process.
Today’s episode will be broken into 3 segments:
In part 1, I will discuss several financial considerations that differentiate a software acquisition & diligence process from a more "traditional" one
In part 2, I discuss several product-specific considerations that prospective acquirors ought to pay particular attention to, especially those who are non-technical, with no prior software experience
Finally, in part 3, I outline 5 very different ways in which prospective acquirors can go about structuring the acquisition of a software company, because – as you’ll hear – not all software investment theses are created equally.
Please enjoy!
